Hi all,
I have found a few threads on boiler services, but as I can't find the answer to my question, I'm starting this new thread.
I fully understand that a safety inspection and a safety check certificate, is an entirely separate thing, and does not involve maintenance or repair of the boiler, unless something must be done to the boiler, in order to make it safe and operate properly.
Rather, I am talking about an annual maintenance and service, separate to a safety inspection, that aims to ensure as much as possible that the boiler works properly, and as much as it is possible to do so, aims to prevent faults before they occur, or prevent them developing and getting worse, to the extent that the boiler finally stops working.
From my reading it seems that the word "service", can mean different things, depending who you ask. But I always, perhaps or probably wrongly, assumed that it would always include cleaning, when the annual service is carried out.
My question is, ---
Should a combination boiler be cleaned internally, when it is 'serviced'? What should be cleaned, and why?
Thank you all in advance.
